A Cedar Hill Collegiate High School senior has a big decision ahead of him.
Colby King has been accepted into 16 colleges, 7 out of 8 of them are Ivy League schools.
“You don’t expect to get into one, let alone seven,” King said.
Among his acceptance letters: Harvard, Columbia, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, Brown, and Dartmouth.
“I’m happy, confused, excited… every emotion possible,” he said.
His mother has watched as each acceptance letter has arrived to their home.
“Colby came home talking about MIT and Yale when he was in the second grade,” said LaChica King, his mother.
